I used to have a single ended hybrid amp, the NAT Symbiosis SE, which ran at 800 watts continuously upon turn on. To say it ran hot was an understatement!
It too had a lengthy warmup time but it was in hours not days. For the first two hours or so of playing the sound would be "meh" and then somewhere between 2 and 2.5 hours the sound got extremely transparent and holographic...almost psychedelic in nature. However, given the very high consumption and heat I could not justify leaving it on all the time and so I sold it because I also could not wait 2+ hours for it to sound like it possibly could.
I did try just leaving it on without playing and funny enough it didn't have the same effect...it had to be playing music...weird but that is what I heard.
